The political climate is tense after the dissemination of Report of the Central Operational Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard which directly implies the former PSOE organization secretary, Santos Cerdánin it alleged collection of illegal commissions in the award of public contracts during the pandemic. In this context, the collaborator of 'Public Mirror', Gonzalo Miróhe has openly asked We can Let the rhetoric leave aside and act with forcefulness.
“Podemos has a way to force electionsNo? They can reach an agreement with Feijóo and Vox e try a motion of censure“He declared.
Miró's words come after We can refuse to meet with the president of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, in the midst of the internal crisis that the Executive is going through. Purple formation has requested explanations, but has not taken concrete steps to demand parliamentary responsibilities. For the collaborator of the Antena 3 program, Podemos's attitude is insufficient at the magnitude of the scandal.
Santos Cerdán
Bites between 620,000 and 650,000 euros
The UCO report details how Santos Cerdán, along with Koldo García and former Minister José Luis Ábalosthey would have participated in a network of irregular awards linked to public works, with bites that They range between 620,000 and 650,000 euros. Some of the conversations intercepted by researchers also describe meetings with businessmen and possible bribes in kind, such as cash payments or luxury services.
The Pedro Sánchez's reaction occurred at a press conference from the PSOE headquarters in Ferraz. In it, the president requested public apologies, rejected an electoral advance and announced an internal audit of the party, as well as a Restructuring of the Ministry of Organizationwhich now passes to a provisional manager.
Opposition reaction
Meanwhile, The opposition parties have already requested urgent appearances In Congress. The PP demands immediate explanations of the president, and more Madrid has claimed that responsible for the company Acciona, indicated in the report as one of the suspicious awarding.
We canon the other hand, it maintains its requirement of a “reset” of the coalition government, but without still progressing in a clear strategy. With the Judicial appearance of Cerdán planned for June 25and that of Ábalos and Koldo García for the previous day, the political calendar is compressed around a possible definitive fracture in the Executive.
The pressure from within the progressive space grows, and the appeal of Gonzalo Miró can be the prelude to a change of tone in the next few days. If the opposition, or even the PSOE partners, advance in a Motion of censurethe political scenario could suffer a shake of unpredictable consequences.
